AEW and Tony Khan are bringing back a familiar name to the promotion.
Return
News broke on Wednesday that QT Marshall, who departed the company in December after being adamant that he wanted to wrestle rather than be just behind the scenes in the front office and as a trainer, is returning to the promotion in a similar role that he had before leaving.
Marshall is returning as Vice President of creative and talent. He is not planned to return as an in-ring talent, and he has yet to start back. It’s interesting to note that Marshall can wrestle outside of AEW.
Going forward
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed QT’s role with AEW in addition to Rocky Romero’s role behind the scenes in talent development.
“I don’t know if he is back yet. But he’s going to be starting back. QT’s role, and Rocky’s role is going to be talent development. So, trying to essentially train wrestlers and work with younger talent. And also, an international liaison with New Japan and CMLL. And QT is going to be….his key role is going to be talent development as well, trainer and everything like that. He left on December 31, right? And Tony Khan said, ‘If he wants to come back, the doors open.’ And I guess he wanted to come back. I know that the idea was he wanted to make it as a main event wrestler, and he worked, he worked a bunch of Indies. But he can still work the indies. So he’s coming back for that job. So starting up soon.”
